Upon consideration of evidence compiled and presented by the FTC, the Californian Central District Court found that Digital Altitude, Michael Force and the other named defendants

falsely represent(ed) to consumers that they will earn large sums of money if they join Digital Altitude or “Aspire” Program.

There is good cause to believe that Digital Altitude (and Defendants) have engaged in and are likely to engage in acts or practices that violate Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a), and that the FTC is therefore likely to prevail on the merits of this action.

Evidence presented against Digital Altitude by the FTC included

Digital Altitude web videos

screen captures of Digital Altitude websites

a declaration by an FTC investigator

transcripts of calls by the FTC investigator with Digital Altitude representatives

consumer declarations

bank and payment processor documentation and

“additional documentation”

As per the February 1st TRO order, Digital Altitude, Michael Force and all of the named defendants in the FTC’s case are prohibited from

stating consumers “who purchase Digital Altitude’s” purported money-making opportunities will receive business coaching that will provide what the consumers need to build a successful online business and

benefiting from or using, selling, renting, leasing, transferring or otherwise disclosing financial or identifying information of any person that any Digital Altitude defendant obtained in connection with any activity that pertains (to the FTC case)

Digital Altitude as a business is prohibited from cashing any checks or depositing money orders and/or cash received from consumers, clients or customers.

A Digital Altitude Receiver has been appointed, who effectively immediately now controls the company and its assets.

Digital Altitude and the named defendants are required to disclose to the Receiver within 5 days (February 6th following the sealed timeline), financial statements, full accounting verified under oath and IRS disclosures to the appointed Receiver.

Any assets held overseas by any of the Digital Altitude defendants are to be repatriated to the US and surrendered to the Receiver.

Among other things, one of the first tasks of the Receiver will be to establish whether Digital Altitude’s business operations can be continued “legally and profitably”.

I first want to thank you for putting so much love, work and energy into being awesome Members.

I want to personally apologize to all of you…In 15+ years of putting on events I have never had to cancel one because I understand first hand how much has to be done to make it all come together.

On Monday, Digital Altitude was served with a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) that appoints a court ordered Temporary Receiver to come in and take over the business operations which is related to a lawsuit from the FTC.

Tom is the Receiver who has been in charge since Monday. He has had to weigh out whether to move forward with the event or not and he has decided at this time that we will NOT be moving forward in fulfilling this event for our APEX members.

I realize this effects many of you and I am hopeful that you can recoup your own costs of airfare and any other arrangements you may have made. There also is a Questionnaire that will allow you to fill out your information and any funds that are due to you from Digital Altitude.

If you are still planning on going to Whistler on your own for whatever reason, please be aware that the hotel has cancelled all reservations but they can reinstate a room for you if you still want to stay at the Fairmont.

You will need to contact reservations team at (removed). You will be responsible for all guest room charges and incidentals, and would need to present a credit card at the time of booking for payment.

——> You can direct all your questions and requests to Tom at (removed)

I’m sorry that we could not get this information to you sooner. With the takeover, our bulk emailer account has been shut down until the Receiver gets that up and running again. Once he does we will make sure you have the TRO order and Questionnaire.

Wishing you a great weekend-
Mary
